The weekly sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1886-1887, 1887-04-28

Winston's successful progress in the
future depends, to large degree, upon the
Immigration here of rev people, and the
Inauguration Of new industries and enter
prises. We understand there are some
people in Winston who have made it their
policy to boycott and to use their influence
against certain new corners VIII have cast
their lot among Such policy is most
narrow minded one, and is suicidal to those
who practice it. 1t is not a fair exponent of
| the complexion of the community and we
are glad to know that, as a rule, our citizens
are most Hospitality disposed towards new
people coming into our midst, and apart
from considerations of courtesy, the best
interests of the place dictate that this should
be our policy.
Already the members of the Twin City
Club are discussing their annual June re-
ception and ball. This years entertainment
promises to be on even grander scale than
last, at which a hundred couples or more
of fair bellies and gallant beaux glided to
the strains of our Italian band. Hundreds
of visitors will be in attendance on this oc-
casion, and the event will eclipse any SINH
lar affair ever given in the State Our
electric lights will be in operation by that
time, and it is likely the rooms will be
illuminated by the Brush incandescent light.
- The Orange Presbytery, at its recent
session at New Berne, elected DIR. F. III
J.hnson evangelist for the Presbytery. He
was also delegated to visit Elizabeth City
for the purpose of investigating the Celia
| Cam legacy, left to the Presbytery for the
purpose of building a church at Elizabeth
City. The people of Winston regret to see
DIR. johnson depart. During long sojourn
in our midst he has won a high place in
the esteem of the whole community.
Nothing is of more vital Importance to
| the good reputation of a town than its hotel
accommodations. The Merchants hotel is
a new enterprise in its line, and is rapidly
| growing in favor at home as we'll as abroad.
Mr.. r. o. Vickers, the genial and whole
souled proprietor, is we'll known as one of
the best hotelists in the State, and our peo-
| pie should appreciate his coming among
US, his presence here, and his business
| are sure benefit to the town.
| The 10th of May is rapidly drawing
near, and yet we have heard of no ar
engagements for the memorial ceremonies fol
which that day has been set apart. 1t is a
sad comment on the time-honored chivalry
of the South to let this custom die out
| The valor of our fallen braves should al
ways be kept glowing in our memories, anc
it is as little as we can do to honor the me
mories of those who gave their lives to tn,
lost cause.

driving into town Tuesday morning with
